Chapter 3081

~11 min read 2,084 words

Chen Yufei could engage in rat trading in Jiqingtang and could want to squeeze Zhou Liangyun out just to ensure that his position was not threatened in the slightest. From this, it can be seen that he values interests extremely highly.

And what he racked his brains to keep was nothing more than a job with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands and the ability to scrape hundreds of thousands of oil and water.

But what he didn't expect was that in order to keep such a job, he actually missed out on a huge sum of 20 million. This was simply a bolt from the blue for him, more uncomfortable than killing him.

And what he didn't expect was that he missed this 20 million, and in the end, it went into Zhou Liangyun's pocket after going around in circles, which made him feel even more like life was worse than death.

Therefore, he immediately hung up the vendor's phone, picked up his mobile phone, and called Zhang Ermao.

He knew that Zhang Ermao had set his WeChat to "do not disturb," so he called his phone directly.

Zhang Ermao was sleeping soundly in his second sleep when his phone suddenly buzzed.

He picked up the phone with some impatience. Seeing that it was Chen Yufei calling again, he answered the phone in a rage and blurted out: "Didn't I tell you? If there is anything, send a WeChat message. I will see it when I wake up. Why are you calling again?"

Chen Yufei was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, turning in circles and jumping on his feet, saying: "Brother Ermao! Something happened! Something big happened!"

"What happened?" Zhang Ermao asked with disdain: "Could it be that Zhou Liangyun was beaten for selling fake goods? Or did he go to the police after knowing he was cheated?"

At this point, Chen Yufei had deep hatred for Zhang Ermao's confident attitude. The original flattery and fawning in his heart also completely vanished at this moment. He roared at Zhang Ermao almost hysterically: "Fake goods! Fake goods! Fake goods! Where the hell did the fake goods come from! The 'fake goods' you prepared for him were just sold by him! Sold for a full 20 million! How could it be a forgery? Can you sell me the same thing?! I was also bewitched by you, recorded a video, and spread it out. If people know that the thing I kicked out of the door is worth 20 million, where can I put my face? Will I still have the face to appear on the antique street in the future? Zhang Ermao! You ruined me!"

Zhang Ermao was a little confused by Chen Yufei's sudden questioning. Although he had often heard such words before, since he followed Hong Wu, no one dared to talk to him like this anymore.

Just when he subconsciously wanted to angrily scold Chen Yufei, he suddenly remembered the content Chen Yufei just said, and asked in astonishment: "What did you say? That thing was sold by Zhou Liangyun for 20 million?!"

"Yes!" Chen Yufei said through gritted teeth: "The hairy guy who set up a stall at the south end saw them complete the transaction with his own eyes! A collector from Yanjing transferred 20 million to Zhou Liangyun on the spot!"

As he spoke, Chen Yufei, who was burning with anger, had lost his mind and continued to scold: "Oh, by the way, there's more! That imitation Ming Dynasty bronze Buddha you made with your own cleverness is actually Northern Song Dynasty! You know Northern Song gilded bronze ware, right? That's what it is! You guys couldn't recognize it just because the gilding on the outside was gone. Are you guys eating this bowl of rice?! I always thought I was the biggest water goods on the antique street, but I didn't expect you big idiots to be even more watery than me! Do you know you ruined me?! If this news spreads, I'm finished!"

"Damn..." Zhang Ermao didn't bother to be angry at the other party's constant profanity; he was scared into a cold sweat.

Zhang Ermao was much smarter than Chen Yufei. After providing the full story, he immediately realized the biggest danger he was facing now.

That danger is Xiao Changkun!

Whether this thing is worth 20,000 or 20 million has little to do with him.

The thing was made by Teacher Cheng and the others, and then he introduced Xiao Changkun to buy it. Later, Xiao Changkun sold it, and the money went into Xiao Changkun's pocket. The whole thing had nothing to do with him; he was just a go-between.

In other words, if it is worthless, he won't lose a cent; if it is worth 100 million, he won't earn a cent.

But the key is what kind of person Xiao Changkun is; Zhang Ermao knows too well.

In this world, the person who truly understands Xiao Changkun's style of doing things is Ye Chen, followed by Zhang Ermao. Neither Ma Lan nor Xiao Churan can compare to them.

Therefore, Zhang Ermao's first thought was that once this matter reached Xiao Changkun's ears, he would be finished.

Xiao Changkun is not the kind of person who plays cards according to conventional routines. He doesn't recognize the rules of "buying and leaving, selling and leaving." If this thing is sold expensively, even if the Heavenly King comes to him, he can't return the difference.

This truth is the same in reverse. If this thing is sold cheaply, even if the thing is in the hands of the Heavenly King, Xiao Changkun must think about letting him make up the difference.

Buying a house that rises makes him want to post on Moments to tell the world, and buying a house that falls makes him want to tear down the sales office to protect his rights. This is what a person like Xiao Changkun can do.

If someone else sells at a loss and comes to him to protect their rights, he will definitely ignore them. But the key is that Xiao Changkun is not an ordinary person; he is the father-in-law of Master Ye Chen, and he owes everything he has today to Master Ye. What if he finds out that he missed 20 million and asks Master Ye for help? Make up the difference? Where does he have so much money now! Although Master Hong Wu gave him a lot of shares, which made his income expectations increase a lot, it has only just begun. The profits of many businesses are calculated quarterly and divided annually. He hasn't earned much big money yet.

Besides, what he is most worried about is not money, but what if Ye Chen has an opinion on him once he knows about these things he did? What if he is removed and sent back to where he came from? Wouldn't his future be completely ruined?!

Therefore, he nervously blurted out and asked Chen Yufei: "Do many people know about this news?!"

Chen Yufei said through gritted teeth: "Anyway, I just found out. I don't know when others will know."

As he spoke, Chen Yufei scolded: "If this matter reaches Miss Song's ears, I will definitely have to pack up and get out. If this matter becomes known to everyone in the Jin Ling antique circle, then my rice bowl will be smashed by you! You must think of a way for me!"

Zhang Ermao ignored him and said impatiently: "What way can I think of for you? You can think of your own way! Also, I warn you, don't tell anyone about this. If I know you are talking nonsense outside, I will never spare you!"

After speaking, he immediately hung up his phone, and then called Xiao Changkun.

At this time, Xiao Changkun was sitting in the first-class seat drinking champagne. The boarding of economy-class passengers had basically ended, the flight attendants had closed the cabin door, and the purser had just announced through the broadcast that the plane was about to be pushed back. Their plane was ranked sixth in the current queue waiting for takeoff, and it was expected to take off in twenty minutes.

Suddenly receiving Zhang Ermao's call, Xiao Changkun pressed the answer button with a smile and said very enthusiastically: "Oh, Ermao, is there any good news for calling me so early?"

Zhang Ermao said fawningly: "President Xiao, I remember you are going to Dubai today. Has the plane taken off?"

Xiao Changkun smiled: "Soon, in another twenty or thirty minutes. What's wrong, do you have anything to do with me?"

When Zhang Ermao heard that Xiao Changkun was about to take off, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this matter is very tricky, if he is given a little more time, he might be able to come up with a good response strategy. At the moment, Xiao Changkun doesn't know about this, and he is going to take a flight to Dubai for several hours. More importantly, he will definitely not have much energy to pay attention to the gossip in Jin Ling after arriving in Dubai. In this way, he can win some buffer time for himself.

Therefore, he quickly said: "Nothing, President Xiao. I called you just to ask when you will take off. Since your plane is about to take off, the flight attendant must ask you to turn off your phone or turn on flight mode. I won't bother you anymore. I wish you and your wife a pleasant journey."

Seeing Zhang Ermao being so sensible, Xiao Changkun said with a smile: "Ermao, you are thoughtful. I will definitely bring you some local tourist souvenirs when I come back from Dubai!"

Zhang Ermao said fawningly: "Oh, thank you in advance, President Xiao!"

Xiao Changkun gave a hum and smiled: "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, let's talk when I come back."

Zhang Ermao immediately said: "Okay, okay, let's talk when you come back."

Xiao Changkun was about to hang up the phone when he suddenly thought of Zhou Liangyun and asked: "By the way, Ermao, how is that guy surnamed Zhou? Does everyone know about his eye-opening incident now? The whole antique street is probably watching his joke, right?"

Zhang Ermao's heart was bleeding, and he cursed: "Still watching his joke, we have become the joke..."

Although Zhang Ermao dared not tell the truth, he dared not lie randomly. After all, Zhou Liangyun made 20 million as soon as he landed in Jin Ling, so he definitely wouldn't leave Jin Ling now. So he would definitely know about this when Xiao Changkun came back, so he definitely couldn't make it up.

Therefore, he said: "That, President Xiao, I have a lot of things to do today, and I don't have a chance to pay attention. Let's do this, I'll ask around when I'm done with my work to see what's going on."

Xiao Changkun smiled: "Okay, tell me as soon as there is good news, let me be happy."

Zhang Ermao covered his eyes with one hand and held the phone with the other, and said with a hard scalp: "Hmm, okay, President Xiao, you have a good time, I'll tell you when there is news."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ermao roared angrily and sat on the bed, cursing: "Damn, what kind of plane is this bastard surnamed Cheng playing! He sold a 20 million thing for 98,000. Are you still a liar? I'm afraid you haven't cheated 20 million in your life, damn stinky idiot!"

After scolding, he said to himself with tears in his eyes: "If I had known this was the situation, I would have died rather than go to Xiao Changkun to engage in this kind of thing..."

"It's over now... I didn't fix Zhou Liangyun, but I sent him 20 million. Xiao Changkun won't fight me to the death if he knows?!"

"Although this old guy is going abroad now, he will definitely know about this sooner or later. What if he doesn't want his face and runs to me, asking me to get the bronze Buddha back for him? What should I do?"

"I can't go to Zhou Liangyun's place and rob 20 million for him, right? With such a large amount, even if it's not a death sentence with immediate execution, it's at least a death sentence with a two-year reprieve..."
